What NHTSA recorded

On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.

Possible consequence

If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Williams controls is handling the replacement of this pedal. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or new flyer at 204-982-8181.
